This year, new artists will be putting out their versions of classic Christmas songs and I will listen to all of them. It is always interesting to hear a new take on old classics.
However, many of the Top Selling Christmas Songs for 2009 will be the ones that you have come to know and love over the years, the Christmas songs that have withstood the test of time. In this article, I am going to tell you my picks for the top 10 classic Christmas songs.
Leading off the group is:
#1 Nat King Cole. Taken from what I consider to be one of the Best Christmas Albums of all time, "The Christmas Song" is not only the album title but the name of the song. Originally recorded in 1946, this song is still one of the top selling Christmas songs on the market.
The Vince Guaraldi Trio comes in at number 2 on our list. The name may not be familiar to you but their songs sure are. This song, choice #2, is called "Christmastime is Here". Does it not ring a bell? How about if I tell you that it comes from the album entitled "A Charlie Brown Christmas"? Released in 1965, this song continues to be a holiday bestseller.
Can chipmunks do Christmas? You bet they can.
"The Chipmunk Song" is rated #3of the all time classic Christmas songs.
Bing Crosbycomes in at #4 with "White Christmas". Released way back in 1945, this song is the essence of Christmas. It comes from the album of the same name and remains the best selling Christmas album of all time.
Eartha Kittenters the list at #5 with her rendition of "Santa Baby". Released in 1953, the song hearkens back to a day when a slow seductive beat, combined with a great female voice, made for intoxicating music. In "Santa Baby", Eartha Kitt, as the voice of all women, asks for the most extravagant gifts using all her feminine wiles. Ladies, perform this song for your men this Christmas and you will receive every gift your heart desires!
At #6, we have Dean Martin singing "Baby, It's Cold Outside". The lovable Dean Martin is someone that belongs in every Christmas collection. Pour yourself a stiff eggnog and listen to Dean Martin for the Holidays.
A Christmas cannot be spent without the Christmas hymns of Andy Williams. At #7, we have "The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year". Written and performed in 1963, this song has become a Christmas staple. How appropriate because Christmas is truly "The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year".
The "Twelve Days of Christmas" brought to you by Ray Conniff & The Ray Conniff Singers is number #8on the list of the top classic Christmas songs. We all know this one and it belongs in every collection.
A relatively new entry on the list is Amy Grant. She is at #9with her recording of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". Of course, this song has been performed by hundreds of singers but her rendition surpasses all.
And what would a Christmas list be without Elvis Presley? His recording of "Blue Christmas" belongs in everybody's collection.
Well, I was limited to 10 choices for this article and these are the songs that make my top 10 classic Christmas songs list.
